Five Years Ago This Month

It's the last day of May and I almost forgot to do my monthly post on some of the wrestlers who were featured here on Beefcakes of Wrestling back in May 2011. Some of these wrestlers are still in the business, while others have retired and moved on to other careers. Which one is your favorite?

Muscle Monday : Hugo Knox

Goodbye, polka dot trunks and kneepads. Hello, latex-like low-cut trunks! Hugo Knox is sporting new ring gear and I dare say it's a big improvement. The branding on the waist band is a great marketing strategy to boot! Is WWE/NXT prepping him for bigger things? Apparently, fans have been saying that Knox has a new character so I'm guessing he's a heel now. If I'm correct, I think it suits him better. The first three photos in this set were taken by longtime-contributor and a very good friend of this blog, David (thanks for the awesome pics, David!). The others were taken from Knox's Twitter page and other sites.

Knox is also sporting some new ink on his back.

When he wasn't rocking the polka dots,
Knox was in stripes.

And this, boys and girls, is how you get on Muscle Monday.

Head Shots

Here at Beefcakes of Wrestling, we like to show beef. But once in a while, we like to show some faces, too. Not all of the selfies wrestlers take are of their bodies; some selfies are above the neck, a sign that these wrestlers are confident in their handsomeness and boy, do they want the world to know it.

There's Something About Him

This post on Jake Something is long overdue. There isn't much I can tell you about him (stats, age, years in the business), but you could subscribe to his You Tube Channel to watch his matches and promos. Why isn't this beefcake a household name yet?

 

 

Picture Perfect

I recently came across International Wrestling Federation's website and was amazed by the photos in their Media section. Whoever took these photos should be proud. Looking at them makes me feel like I'm this close to the action. Well done, photographer. Well done. (Click here to go to www.iwflive.com)
